access into my garden anyone know what it all means

we've just bought our first house and to have access into our garden and next doors are gates that goto a alley way directly opposite us is two houses who have the same alleyway to use but as it's different roads their is a main gate to this alley it only states the house numbers opposite us and not me or my neighbour.

anyway we've gone to use our gate and this Lady behinds us states were not allowed to use alley it's only for the 3 houses numbered on the gate.

The neighbour next door to me had the same matter a few years ago opposite them he tried to extend his garden saying it was his land he can do what he wanted so our neighbour took them to court to prove it weren't theirs and won. (were going to ask them for copy of their paperwork)looking at all our paperwork today and confirming It with our solicitor it clearly states there is no registered right of way. so legally no one owns it but no one really can debate us using It. is that correct to what their saying.

it's only going to be used for husband taking his push bike to work every day so it doesn't have to come through the house

You need to check whether there is any right if access over this land. It doesn't sound so but your predecessors may have established one, so check the responses to queries raised by your solicitor. Some will ask about the boundaries and access. Even access wouldn't entitle you to leave , say, a bin there, just use it to go to and fro.

hi all. yes we can access our garden from our back door but if we wanted to bring building material and other things in we would have to go through the house or down the alley. I can't understand why everyone else uses it then if it's not theirs to use as our next door neighbour has confirmed it's no one's alley

as stated there is no registered right of way so none of the neighbours can really debate us using It.

We asked the one who confronted s would she minmind and she said yes because the gate will make a rattly noise. personally I don't see how on earth that will happen though

Someone owns it. So what you appear to have is one trespasser saying that someone else, you, shouldn't trespass as well?

I'm confused that you say another neighbour challenged a further neighbour fencing in some land (is this the alley? Your OP is v unclear). Only the landowner can challenge someone doing this.

Just because land is not registered doesn't mean to say that no one owns it. It will simply be unregistered land.

If someone tries to stop you using it you should ask them to provide evidence of ownership. If your previous owners used the alley in the past, find out how long for. They may have established a right of way by prescription (long user).
